The source code is used to produce the "resultant binaries" so unless you have a very strange definition of "quality" the OP has a very valid question.


> a very strange definition of "quality"

Is it strange that, say, comments are stripped out of a binary? Or that the file names of the source files are not in there? These things are examples of aspects of quality that have no impact on the binary but make a big difference to the quality of the source.
